Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Call of Duty:Modern Warfare 2 is a first-person tactical shooter and the sixth entry in the popular Call of Duty series. True to its name and following the lead of its predecessor, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, it places players in modern combat settings, as opposed to the WWII environments of the earlier Call of Duty games. This modern approach brings with it new weapons, action and options. Coupled with a variety of gameplay modes including single player, multiplayer and the co-op Special Ops Mode, it is destined to be one of the most popular games of 2009 and a worthy addition to the Call of Duty series.

Story
The storyline of Modern Warfare 2 picks up where the events of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare left off. The ultranationalist Russian leader Zakhaev has been eliminated, but it seems that his lieutenant, Vladimir Makarov, is an even bigger danger. Having made a successful play for power, Intel indicates that he is extending the reach of his influence well beyond the borders of Mother Russia, causing a stir in the international community and prompting the involvement of Task Force 141. Task Force 141 is an elite multinational unit made up of Navy Seals, Delta Force operatives, British SAS and CIA. In the single player campaign you are Sergeant Gary “Roach” Sanderson, with the hero of Call of Duty 4, “Soap” MacTavish, promoted to Captain, making an appearance as an NPC (non-player character) and your commanding officer. The elimination of Makarov and his underlings at any cost is your number one priority, regardless where the fight occurs.

Gameplay
The latest release in arguably the most successful tactical first-person shooter franchise of all-time, gameplay in Modern Warfare 2 follows the same winning and time-tested structure of earlier games in the series. In the single player campaign players are aided by AI squad members as they take on a series of missions aimed at eliminating Ultranationalist forces. Each mission is built around a particular objective, with players utilizing some level of guidance from NPC characters, including “Soap” MacTavish, and aided in navigation by the game’s heads up display (HUD). Along the way players will be able to utilize a wide variety of weaponry and and vehicles, as well as be able to customize weapons with gadgets attached to them.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Reviews From Customer Who Bought

Campaign is too short., November 20, 2009
By bertrarious “bertrarious” (Naperville, IL USA)
I know that the multi-player is the big draw, but I bought this for the campaign. The campaign plays out too quickly and feels Much shorter than the original MW. I also thought the No Russian segment was inappropriate and refects poorly on loyal American military forces to think one could do what was required to beat this level. Finally, I thought the “ending” did not really end the story as “The truth is” still “out there”. While I enjoyed what there was of the game, again, it was too short. If I could, I would rate this 2.5 stars. I rated the original with a 5.

5 stars for fun, 4 stars overall is about right, November 20, 2009
By Too Old for Games “casualgamer” (Irvine, CA)
First off, I believe this is the best FPS out there. However, to be better than games that preceded it is to be expected, not revered. This is a great game, no doubt, but it’s not as revolutionary as COD4 was. That was leaps and bounds better than everything else at the time. MW2 is just marginally better. The campaign is decent, but it’s been done before. The cinematic moments have become iterative–the shock and awe moments have become desensitized because we’ve seen them in COD4 already. Hence why they had to throw in the airport scene to try to throw something new at you, but it doesn’t work. Spec Ops is a great add on. Multiplayer is slightly better. All in all, definitely a keeper, but don’t treat it as the best thing since sliced bread. In summary, it does what a sequel should do, which is enough this time around. Hopefully, they can start with a blank template for COD8 and revolutionize the genre once again.
